  5. English media discourse: the language of evaluation and attribution • This course aims to introduce students to the English language resources of evaluation and attribution in media texts (broadsheets and TV news).

  6. Students will be introduced to examples of media discourse research and will practice and develop descriptive and analytical skills using media texts.

  7. You need to be exposed to English to learn it • The more you are exposed the more you assimilate • Exposure means reading and listening • You are students of politics and need to understand a variety of text types

  8. This course aims to give you experience of media texts in English, news discourse: TV and press. • It aims to raise your awareness of two particular text types • But also provide a metalanguage to describe aspects of the discourse and a methodology for analysis • It aims also to introduce you to English language research which is of some relevance to political scientists.

  9. You will also practice data gathering and data analysis • And improve your language skills.

  10. Politics is nearly all done by language • There are two things non-native speakers find very difficult: • to understand stance, that is to say subjective attitudes expressed in discourse • and to understand who is taking responsibility for any one particular statement • this why we will be concentrating on evaluation and attribution
